Returning to the room with the large balcony, Furth looked at Hugh, who was leaning back against the wall, and said in a low voice:

"Guess what I saw?

"That man, Dantes's personal valet, turned out to be a believer in the Grim Reaper, and he was dancing and praying just now!"

Xiu Huoran's eyes widened, and his expression immediately relaxed:

"For Mr. Dantès, it's just a matter of being at the bottom of the line.

"Well, the valet named Richardson is obviously of Southern Continent ancestry, and may have been born there, so it's not surprising that he secretly worships the Grim Reaper. ”

Furth responded with a smile:

"I know, I just think it's funny, isn't there a little too many people hiding secrets around the rich man Dawn Dantès?

"If one day I find out that all the creatures in this house, apart from him, including the housekeeper, the maid, the gardener, the coachman, the earthworm, the bug, the mouse, are related to the mysterious and extraordinary, I feel that I will not be too surprised and can easily accept this fact. ”

Hugh gave his friend another blank look:

"If this is the case, then Mr. Dawn Dantès will not be simple, and the fact that he is surrounded by extraordinary and transcendent beings only means that he may be the heir of an evil god or an angel on earth. ”

Without waiting for Furth to get the subject out of the way, Hugh turned to ask:

"Didn't you just say that you had a very strange dream involving treasure? why weren't you curious at all, without considering what it symbolized, whether it really existed?"

Furth laughed and said:

Such dreams often mean a lot of trouble, a lot of danger, and you should consider it when you have the opportunity to meet that symbol later. ”

She said this, but what she really thought in her heart was:

There are quite a few problems with this dream, who knows if there will be a conspiracy, or go to the Tarot meeting next week, ask Mr. "The Hanged Man", Ms. "Hermit", uh, and Mr. "World", and then decide what to do, they are all experienced and powerful extraordinary people, maybe they have similar experiences.

"You've matured a lot. Hugh nodded slightly, and with a hard back, he bounced off the wall and walked to where Firth had slept just now.

"Mature?" Furth sneered, leaning closer to his friend, straightening his back and "looking down" at the other's hair.

Without waiting for Hugh to be annoyed, she sighed again and said:

"You're really mature.

"I still remember this time last year, you relied on your instincts, you relied on your fists to arbitrate, and from time to time you would make mistakes and lose your way, but now it's a lot better. ”

Hugh was stunned, lay down on his side, wrapped the thin silk quilt around his body, turned his back to Furth, and muttered:

"The main reason I'm lost is because you're dragging you around. ”

Furth laughed dryly, nodded thoughtfully, and said:

"It's an inherent feature of the 'apprenticeship' pathway, and it has nothing to do with me, huh!"

Seeing that Hugh was already lying down, she walked to the wall against the master bedroom and conscientiously became a bodyguard.

As the night receded and the sky began to light up, Klein got up for breakfast and received two successive visits from police officers and a group of reporters, some of whom had come to further investigate Cuarón's suicide and others to learn more details about the attack on Congressman Mahert.

Under the arrangement of Walter, the butler, Dawn Dantès met with them in turn, and these matters were quickly taken care of.

In the afternoon, Congressman Mahert suddenly came to the door and said to Klein in a slightly hurried manner:

"Accompany me to the club to play tennis. ”

He has joined several clubs, but only one has crossed paths with Dawn Dantès:

East Byron Veterans Club!

Knowing the meaning of the other man's words, Klein immediately asked his valet Richardson to fetch his coat, top hat and cane, and rode in his carriage to follow Mr. Councillor all the way to the unique sand-yellow building in Hillston.

Entering the club, the same room as before, Klein once again met Colonel Calvin of the Department of Defense with a donkey-faced face.

After a few minutes of habitual greetings, Calvin finally got to the point, looked at Daun Dantès, and said with a smile:

"I heard Makht say that you can come up with 20,000 gold pounds at once?"

"It's a bit reluctant, but it's possible. Crane replied with the corners of his mouth upturned.

Calvin nodded in satisfaction and said in a deep voice:

"For the time being, it will not cost twenty thousand pounds, and the batch of guns, ammunition and a small number of artillery prepared for you will be in a warehouse in East Bailang, and the number is relatively small, and it will be able to arm three or four thousand men, at the most ten thousand pounds at the scrap price, of course, you have to give me fifteen thousand pounds. ”

He didn't hide what he said at all, it seemed that this was already the norm within Rune's army.

"No problem. Crane said with a calm expression.

Calvin burst into laughter:

"Very good, Makht has a good vision, and if you want to do business in this area, you must not be stingy.

"That batch of arms is worth at least twenty thousand pounds in West Byron, and if you can find a suitable buyer and use your experience there, you can sell it for thirty thousand pounds or more, by the way, you will bear the cost of transportation and storage on the way, and we will only send two or three people to assist you. ”

Sure enough, there will be overseers...... Crane listened calmly, and felt that he needed to urge the "Star Admiral" and Daniz to give him information about Sibailon as soon as possible.

He muttered:

"When does it start?"

"It's up to you to decide when that batch of arms will be put in the corresponding warehouse, and then when it will start, well, you don't have to pay the full amount directly, give 8,000 to 10,000 pounds first, and then pay the balance when it's over. Calvin put on a very good look.

Two weeks later, close to the end of the month, I will definitely have to attend the birth banquet of the "Serpent of Destiny" before leaving...... Waiting for His cord blood...... Klein's thoughts shifted:

"I have to do some preparation work in the early stage, and I will go to the Southern Continent in early July. ”

Calvin and Congressman Macht looked at each other, then stroked their palms and said:

"No problem. ”

............

Outside the East Byron Veterans' Club, Hugh and Furth hid on the rooftops of a nearby building, monitoring the people around them.

- Hugh knew very well that there were many extraordinary people in this club, so he didn't dare to let Furth sneak in with her to provide close protection for Dawn Dantès, so he had to wait outside.

"Fortunately, this is Beckland, even if there is no fog this season, there will be no lack of clouds, the sun is not too fierce, otherwise my skin would have been tanned again. Furth cowered in the shadows and muttered casually.

Hugh was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a horse-drawn carriage driving to the back door of the club, it was brown in color and had a signature coat of arms, the main body of which was a flower and a ring.

Viscount Stafford carriage ...... Hugh muttered to herself silently, her eyes widened and her attention gathered, and she immediately saw the familiar and unfamiliar figure step out of the carriage and enter the East Bailang Veterans' Club, surrounded by several bodyguards.

"What's wrong?" Furth noticed something unusual in his friend.

Hugh did not hide it, and said calmly:

'I saw Viscount Stafford and he came to this club as well. ”

"The chief of the palace guard?" Firth asked in amazement.

"Hmm. Hugh nodded heavily.

Furth opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he looked around and pretended to be monitoring the anomaly.

After a while, they saw Dawn Dantès come out.

............

In the afternoon, another visitor came to the door at 160 Berklund Street.

This time it was the majority shareholder of the Coim Company, Lady Mary.

"I'm sorry that my request got you involved in this trouble, I didn't expect Baron Sindras to do such a thing, poor Caron, who was planning to take his family to Wintershire for the summer. Mary Short said apologetically and resentfully.

Klein replied very calmly:

"I agree with you about Caron, he's unlucky.

"However, it may not have been done by Baron Sindras, and it was probably a trap for him. ”

Madame Mary nodded solemnly:

"I've heard speculation that the police department is planning to ask a powerful forensic doctor to help dissect the body and look for missing clues. ”

The second half of her sentence sounded in Klein's ears, and it was automatically replaced by "The police department plans to ask a powerful 'psychic' from the Church of the Night to examine the body and look for clues that have been missed."

I don't know what I'm going to find...... Crane raised his right hand and tapped four times clockwise on his chest:

"May the goddess bless Karon in peace, and the true murderer of him will be punished. ”

Lady Mary responded with the same courtesy, and then said:

"In order not to let you be affected by this matter again, I intend to buy your shares in advance and pay an additional premium of 1,000 pounds on top of the current highest price.

"You don't have to worry about my money, what I've been busy with lately is borrowing money from the bank. ”

Crane sighed and smiled:

"I appreciate your kindness, but if you want to talk about the early transfer of shares, you have to go to the church, to whom I have donated and intend to use the income to build a bursary fund for the poor. ”

It was the first time that Lady Mary heard the news, and she was quite shocked and speechless.

After a full ten seconds, she quietly exhaled and said:

"I am very impressed by your character, your generosity, and your wisdom. ”

As she spoke, she looked at Daun Dantès with a little more appreciation.

Klein modestly put all the credit on the goddess, then paused, and asked with a serious expression:

"Lady Mary, I have a question that I would like to be answered by you.

"When you decided to confront Baron Sindras and retain control of Coim, did it come out of sheer affection, or was there a reason to be persuased?"

Lady Mary frowned slightly, and replied calmly:

"The persuasion to me was to make me give up. ”

Klein fell silent for a moment, and after a little chatter about the attack on Councilor Macht, he sent the lady across from him to 160 Berlund Street.

After dinner, Walter, his butler, went to the semi-open room with a large balcony and said to his employer, who was sitting in an easy chair:

"Sir, the two bounty hunters have been sent away, costing a total of £300 for three days, not including the food provided. ”

Finally gone...... Crane Huo Ran relaxed and nodded in approval of Mr. Butler's reply.

Then, he eagerly entered the master bedroom, ready to dig out the mushrooms sent by Frank Lee and bring them to the gray mist to communicate with the "wriggling hunger".

When he reached the desk where the mushrooms were hidden, he saw a letter pressed by an inkwell.

Klein picked it up with a little confusion, opened it, and skimmed it quickly, and then his expression became quite strange:

"Monsieur Dantès, we are your bodyguards, and we have discovered something in the last few days and have thought it necessary to tell you, so, while you are having dinner, we entered your bedroom and left this letter. ”
